CertboundWhat does the report show?
The Remote Pilot ACS, introduction and Appendix 3, describes the report's identifying information, test date, test type, unique test identification number, score and codes for missed knowledge elements. Keep the original report and follow the FAA certification process for the next step after passing.
Your name, FAA Tracking Number and examination ID are not needed by this lookup. Do not upload a report or paste its identifying details. Certbound has no connection to PSI's scoring system.
How is an ACS code structured?
The FAA ACS introduction uses UA.I.B.K10 as its example:
| Part | Meaning in this example |
|---|---|
| UA | Unmanned Aircraft Systems standard |
| I | Area of Operation I, Regulations |
| B | Task B, Operating Rules |
| K10 | Knowledge element: Visual line of sight (VLOS) aircraft operations |
The exact description comes from the current FAA-listed ACS PDF, FAA-S-ACS-10B, effective April 6, 2021, checked October 17, 2026. A code's final number is not a score or a count of missed questions. Keep any letter suffix, such as the a in UA.I.B.K4a.

Type or paste one or more ACS codes. The lookup uses the FAA document's element wording and shows the area and task. It matches codes without regard to capitalization, preserves letter suffixes and does not guess at unknown or older codes.
The full code reference is available by area below. An exact matching FAA sample question may have a practice link. The absence of a sample link does not mean the topic is absent from the exam or that Certbound has assessed your knowledge of it.
How do you check a code in the FAA PDF?
Open the FAA ACS index and choose the Remote Pilot standard. Confirm the document identifier and edition, then search the PDF for the complete code, including a suffix if present. Read its area and task heading as well as the element text.
If the printed report and this lookup disagree, use the current FAA document and check the report's exact spelling. Do not substitute a similar-looking topic. The lookup is a local study reference, not an FAA interpretation or an official report correction service.
What should you do with a matched topic?
Read the task's references in the ACS, find the relevant current rule or handbook section, and work through a new example. For UA.I.B.K10, the subject is VLOS operations. It is not the separate knowledge-recency requirement in UA.I.C.K4.
Use the Part 107 study guide to find primary materials. Chart and airspace topics connect to the sectional legend guide and airspace practice. Weather topics connect to the METAR and TAF study tool. A repeated code is a review direction, not a reliable count of how many questions you missed.
What happens after a failed UAG test?
The PSI UAG bulletin, page 4, requires a 14-day wait before retesting after failure and the applicable failed report. It says no instructor endorsement is needed for a UAG retest after failure. Read the booking guide before scheduling.
Passing, retesting and maintaining 24-calendar-month knowledge recency are different tasks. Certbound does not alter a score, submit an application or satisfy FAA recurrent training. Sources checked October 17, 2026.
